Explanatory note

Assured tenancies are tenancies which would otherwise have been protected tenancies or housing association tenancies under the Rent Act 1977 (c. 42), and which meet certain other conditions. Such tenancies are subject to Part II of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 (c. 56), as modified by Schedule 5 to the Housing Act 1980. They can only be granted by bodies approved under section 56 of the 1980 Act.

This order approves twelve bodies for the purposes of section 56.
